So I said I'd try and fix my sisters samsung windows 8 64-bit laptop which is stuck in a boot loop and i've tried almost everything to get it out of the boot loop like making a recovery drive, taking out the hard drive and powering it on to get an f4 option, none of the f-keys work in the booting stage so I can't access the BIOS either.
So can I take the hard drive from the laptop and put it in my windows 8.1 64-bit system and format it, put it back in the laptop and reinstall windows 8?
I'd rather get some sort confirmation instead of going ahead and trying it.
 


It doesn't work, I connected the USB and turned on the laptop but it just stays in a boot loop; nothing has changed.
